Karnataka Minister Krishna Byre Gowda Seeks Clarity Over Bengaluru Development Portfolio
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar faces internal challenges following recent cabinet portfolio allocations. Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, assigned the Bengaluru Development portfolio, has not taken charge due to concerns over the exclusion of key agencies like the Bengaluru Development Authority and Bengaluru Metropolitan Region Development Authority, which remain under the Chief Minister's control. This has raised dissatisfaction within the Congress, following earlier tensions involving other ministers. Byre Gowda is expected to seek clarity from both the Chief Minister and party leadership to resolve these issues.
